This invention relates to a hair-wave setting device, more particularlya device adapted to be temporarily applied to a womans hair to effectthe setting of a wave of predetermined form and size and ensure themaintenance of its configuration for a relatively long period of timeafter the device has been removed from the hair.

The object of the invention is to provide an adjustable hair-wavesetting device of simple and inexpensive construction which can bereadily applied to the hair and manipulated with ease and celerity, andwhich device can be as readily removed and be repeatedly used.

The invention is designed more especially for use in the formation andsetting of the side hair waves which are now in vogue. A

preferred form of the device in such connection is illustrated in thedrawing, wherein- Figure l is an elevation of the device.

Fig. 2 is a section enlarged of the protected tip portion of the device.

Figs. 8 and 4 illustrate the way the device is applied to the hair.

Fig. 5 represents the device as in use.

Referring to the drawing, 10 designates a piece of flexible wire, ofcopper or other suitable material, having a suitable protective covering11, which wire is folded upon itself to afford an elongated loop havingits free ends in close proximity. These ends are entered into the largeropen end of a hollow metal tip 12, of tapering form, and therein securedin any suitable manner. as by indent- 5 ing or crimping the tip upon thewire.

Preparatory to the use of the device the hair has imparted thereto aconventional Wave formation at, for example, the side of the face. Thedevice is then manipulated to push the tip 12 thereof a suitabledistance under the portion of the hair between the dips a, as seen inFig. 3. The projecting loop portion of the device is then manuallyexpanded to the desired extent and bent over 45 upon the hair so as tobear against the op posing sides of the clips and clamp the interveningportion 6 of the wave upon the underlying members of the device, as seenin Fig. 4, thereby securely holding the hair in a predetermined wavecondition. The device when thus applied is allowed to remain on the haira sufficient period of time to ensure the setting of the wave, whereuponthe device is removed for future use.

The tapering tip 12 not only unites the free ends of the looped wire,but it facilitates the initial pushing of the device under the hair; andthe inherent flexibility of the elongated side members of the loop notonly enable them to be readily spread or contracted 6G to afiordrelatively wide Variability of the dips, but it also enables suchmembers when they are folded over to clamp an extended area of the hairupon the underlying portions of the device, thereby ensuring a tighthold of the device upon the hair, yet permitting the device to besubsequently removed for future use when the desired setting of the wavehas been effected.

I claim 1. A hair-wave setting device comprising an elongated loop offlexible wire and a protective connecting tip for the free ends of thewire, whereby the tipped portion of the loop can be readily pushed underthe hair and the projecting members of the loop then be variably spreadin spaced contact with the hair and bent into position to clamp the hairupon the underlying portion of the loop.

2. A hair-wave setting device comprising an elongated loop of flexiblewire and a tapering protective connecting tip for the free ends of thewire, whereby the tipped portion of the loop can be readily pushed underthe hair and the projecting members of the loop then be variably spreadin spaced contact with the hair and bent into position to clamp the hairupon the underlying portion of the loop.
